Chicken and Lentil Soup with Homemade Miso
Homemade miso and peanut butter bring an Asian feel to this flavorful soup. I like to serve this with my homemade rye bread for dipping!

Combine soy beans, peanuts, oyster sauce, tahini, and red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender. Blend into a fine paste. Place the paste in a container and add vinegar. Stir together. Cover and let stand until flavors meld, about 2 1/2 hours.
-
Heat chile oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken until nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

Combine chicken and homemade miso in a large pot. Add water, lentils, carrots, spinach, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir in peanut butter, chicken bouillon, sage, and cumin. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour.
